Fire Line Backflow Testing

Fire line backflow testing is a specialized service aimed at ensuring the safety and reliability of backflow prevention assemblies within fire protection systems. Backflow prevention assemblies in fire lines are crucial components that help prevent the reverse flow of water, ensuring that clean water remains available for firefighting purposes.

Fire protection systems are equipped with backflow prevention assemblies to prevent potential contamination of the firefighting water supply. These devices are designed to prevent any backflow of water from the fire protection system into the public water supply or other connected systems. This is important because water in fire protection systems often comes into contact with various chemicals and agents that are used for fire suppression, making it necessary to prevent any contamination of the public water supply.

During a fire line backflow test, trained professionals assess the condition and functionality of the backflow prevention assembly within the fire protection system. They conduct tests to ensure that these assemblies are operating as intended and effectively preventing any reverse flow of water. If any issues are identified, repairs or replacements may be recommended to maintain the integrity of the fire protection system and its backflow prevention measures.

Regular fire line backflow testing is crucial for maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of fire protection systems. By ensuring that backflow prevention devices are functioning correctly, fire departments and building owners can trust that the water used for firefighting purposes remains safe and free from potential contaminants.

Fire Line Backflow Testing is $150 per assembly. If your system has a bypass assembly it will be an additional charge of $50.
